What font are you using? If you're using Times, Palatino and some
others I can't remember, the font is not included in the output by dvips
(even though the documentation says that including the font is the
default) so you rely on the hp printer to have the same font as you TeX
installation, and ligatures are often casualties of any conflict. Try
this:
dvips -Pdownload35 book.dvi
The "35" refers to the 35 basic postscript fonts, that someone else here
can list for you.
